After accusing Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) of "illegally" stealing a win from the Iowa caucuses, Donald Trump said Wednesday that he'll "probably" sue over the results of the vote.
Trump said this in an interview on Boston Herald Radio
When asked if he would file a formal complaint over the caucuses' results, Trump replied, "probably."
"What [Cruz] did is unthinkable," Trump said, later stating that Cruz was a "really fraudulent" character.
Earlier in the day, Trump fired off a raging tweetstorm accusing Cruz of cheating in Iowa. Trump even suggested the Republican Party take the unprecedented step of holding a do-over election in Iowa or nullifying Cruz's results.

Let us hope. But we when you fall for something wholeheartedly, it can be very difficult to let it go. Just ask Palin — someday.
So CNN breaks the “news” that Doc Carson is going to make a speech then leave Iowa for Florida ahead of a snow storm at 6:43pm Central time...more than an hour *after* Rep. Steve King tweets the “news” that Carson is dropping out and a Cruz operative tweets info from inside the Cruz camp he’s quitting.
Anyone besides me see something wrong with that sequence of events?
That’s rather rude. I don’t call people names who disagree with me.
The last time I looked, that was against the rules.
If you can’t debate with attacking, then ignore those you disagree with.
emigrant Cubans and western Canadians are generally good people.
Now if Cruz was from Quebec, or Kenya, that would be different

That is probably true, but in the case of the Cubans, they’re flooding in by the thousands and thousands, many, many will go on welfare.
We need to take care of our own first
Our elders and veterans are suffering.
We are 19 trillion in debt.
Our hiways and bridges etc are falling apart.
We can’t take care of the whole world, dear.
Agree, I was thinking emigrant Cubans who came in the era of Rafael Bienvenido Cruz.
Donald is Conservative.
I’m truly sorry for offending you.
However, I am frustrated by the fact that there a lot of his supporters out there that seem to be glossing over Trump’s previous clearly unconservative positions.
Besides the fact that I am really tiring of the personal insults and below the belt attacks he is perpetrating on Cruz that are so typical of liberal politics, it appears to me he is starting to show that he is sliding back to “New York Values” on a lot of issues.
If he has a message about what he’s FOR, let’s hear it. He can also slam the hell out of Hillary and Bernie all he wants.
I’m all for the tough talk on policy issues, but his constant personal attacks and, more importantly, his sliding on the conservative issues, are losing me.
I think the times are getting mixed up because twitter might show different time zones on the tweets. Some of the tweets were seen on screenshots taken from the computer of a person in a timezone we don’t know, so we don’t know how to adjust it. I was first made aware of that situation by newgeezer, who posted about it earlier. If you look at his posts you can probably find the timeline he came up with, as well as the communications to and from the Cruz campaign to him because he spoke at the caucus on behalf of Cruz’s campaign but was not happy with how things went regarding this Ben Carson issue.
I think Steve King’s tweets were around 7:20 Central time. But if you look at newgeezer’s posts you should see the correct timeline, I think.
Lol...bull.
Twitter keeps accurate time and I'm confident both Steve King & Dan Gabriel were in Iowa Feb 1st.
Here’s the timeline newgeezer came up with, once he got the twitter times all consistent (he’s in IA but the twitter times initially showed Pacific times, so the twitter times do apparently sometimes get mixed up):
Yesterday, 6:43 PM CST Chris Moody CNN tweets Carson is going home for a couple days’ rest.
6:56 PM Spence Rogers (Cruz campaign) email “Carson Likely to Drop Out”
7:05 PM Jason Osborne (Carson campaign) tweets Carson “Not suspending — getting fresh clothes then back out Wednesday”
7:08 PM CNN tweets Carson to take a break from campaigning (tinyurl.com/j8pbmo8)
7:13 PM Spence Rogers (Cruz campaign) email “CNN Reporting Ben Carson Will Stop Campaigning After Iowa”
7:19 PM Steve King tweets Carson is “Skipping NH & SC is the equivalent of suspending”
7:20 PM Steve King tweets “Carson looks like he is out. Iowans need to know before they vote.”
Today, 2:09 PM: Steve King tweets “I respect Ben Carson & regret any miscommunications.
It’s ok. Forget it. :)
Get a clue “son”, I’m likely old enough to be your father.
You’ve never seen vitriol from me. But you’ll know when you do.
No, there’s plenty vitriol from you. Keep it up.. you and some of the other rabid Trumpettes make it entertaining.
Sure, whatever you say kid.
What time zone are those times calibrated to? If you’ve listened to what I said, newgeezer found that the times on the tweets changed when he set the time for Central time rather than for Pacific time. Twitter screenshots are totally worthless for knowing what time something happened unless you know what time zone the twitter page is set to calibrate to. The 5:20 time was what showed on newgeezer’s computer when it was set to PACIFIC time. When he set the times to be calibrated to CENTRAL time it was 7:20pm. That’s what I’m saying.
Well, you see brilliance where most people see a baby.
I keep being suspended for saying that Trump is not a conservative. He still isn’t.
I was suspended, I kept saying Trump is no conservative and the FR Politburo didn’t like it.
